A greatly successful grand cru from 'skylark hill'. More info

This exceptional wine comes from a selection of the terroir’s best parcels, marked by a lovely energy and natural acidity. The terroir in question is composed of limestone and chalk soil, with a richness that allows for a real maturation of the Riesling grown there. This wine is called Lerchenberg, an Alsatian term that means ‘skylark hill’ due its steep incline and great exposure to the sun.

Riesling Lerchenberg Ginglinger serve at a temperature of 12°C. 

Peak: Drink until 2031

    Information about domain Jean Ginglinger

    Jean Ginglinger, impassioned by the earth and its vines, comes from a wine making family that goes way back to 1610. He took over the family domain in 1999, steering it precisely in the direction of organics and biodynamics. Since 2012, all of the wines crafted here are natural. A domain composed of 5.5 hectares of vineyards, it produces sparkling wines, whites, and even orange cuvées – the best of the region summed up in one place! These wines are largely dry and coveted for their lovely acidity.
